Says in the article, "most prominent values being respect, self-control, and a non-confrontational attitude"! Lol!! Are they talking about a different country or race in the article??

Thai public now reaping the societal 'benefits' of what their government has sown by letting in Soviets. Maybe they should start protesting at the government instead of giving out the constant, "Yais"?

What Thais don't like confrontation??? News to me. My ex-wife was determined to have a fight or argument every day with someone, be it me, supervisor at work, her young daughter, work colleagues. Her temper could flare in an instant and it knew no bounds in terms of ferocity or violence.. she's an utter fruitcake.. (Footnote: Unsurprisingly, her daughter pre-teen is now following in the same mould of short fused temper and melodrama persona, and she's not even reached her teen years)!

Plenty of slags in Thailand, and in their exports to foreign shores...

Hoes the damm lot of them thar Thais! 😂😂😂

On a surfboard. Must have pretty good balance and core strength! Let alone plenty to hold on to and pivot on?? 😉🤔 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same here in the UK, Thais visiting on 6 month tourist visas, who are then illegally employed in a 'friend's from my village massage shop', or restaurant while sleeping on site in a private room. Mind you, the UK Home Office is a shambles...

We can only hope this corrupt bunch of MPs get wiped out!

More fool those idiots willing to pay over 20,000 baht a night to stay in a dump of a place.

In response to this coercive action may I suggestforeugn governments rescind all visas of Thai persons overseas as we don't want them contributing to disease and viruses in our countries!? FFS!

Culture?? Since when have Soviets understood culture? Anything they've got their hands on since 1917 they've usually decimated or destroyed. Thailand really is stooping so low these days that they'll be schmoozing up to the Afghan government's education, tourism and women's rights ministeries next!!

Send him home to Mr Putin, Schittsskigrad with a 10year ban on returning. Ohand while at it, throw in / out the rest of the Soviet troublemakers with 10 year bans on returning.

There's a lot of Thais, amongst many other nationalities working illegally here in the UK, without work permits, paid under minimum wage, housed for 'free' by business owners etc under the radar of incompetent border security and tracking of migrants.

Oh they will, just give them a bit of time!

Politically beleagured UK?? More like politically corrupt and inept UK and politically inept and utterly corrupt Thailand. Perhaps Police Chief 'Big Joke' will land a position as Minister for UK National Security in Rishi Sunak's cabinet as one of the diplomatic gifts granted to Cameron before he leaves? 🤣

But it's what the Thai woman who the farang marries believes, (and her family also believes and expects that this will and should happen).

That's a lovely story and an experience he can cherish and enthusiastically recount to his family, no doubt.

8.5 million tourists. Does that include counting Soviets as Europeans? 8.5 million!! That's good revenue for the airlines with their inflated fares to BKK and PKT these days.

Blatant collusion between airlines happening to inflate air fares at yes the peak time of the year. (Recovering pandemic losses, oh yeah of course 🔔🔔)!! Why don't the family visit in Europe's school holidays? Weather's okay and flights are a lot cheaper, (circa £400 each on a direct flight route).

Better call Sor. (Not Saul) 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

That's a lengthy excuse / alibi for the thug, Sor who did this. Perhaps it could be easier for Sor to try repeating, "What did you expect? After all I am Thai"? 😊🤔🤫🫣

3 months or 6 months visa issued on arrival. (With 6 months subject to showing proof of a basic level of financial means to stay in Thailand, eg: 50USD / day on account).. Immigration to do a better job of filtering out and / or turning around criminals arriving on passenger flight lists.

It says 8 million in the article. More than enough one would think?? (7,999,999 more than enough IMHO!!🤣).

Pot kettle black. What Thais don't think they're racist? Well I never would have guessed. They're more racist than the Klan towards those of Afro/Caribbean origin.

Waiting for Big Joke to back up this big joke of a sob story to justify more and bigger brown envelopes and extortion rackets for numerous police officers to 'indulge' themselves in!
